Are you considering a collaboration between your school and public library to maximize your impact on your community?

Are you part of an existing collaboration and wondering how to expand? 

In this online course, we will explore the many benefits of the school and public alliance to drive equitable access to information, improve community outcomes, and achieve learning goals, with an emphasis on digital partnerships and how library collaborations have evolved in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will follow the continuum of collaboration, from informal partnerships to fully-integrated services, and will take a deep dive into impact and benefits to ensure that you walk away with the tools you need to make the most of your partnership.

You’ll learn from the experts how to find partnerships, develop a plan of action, and enact your plan through live keynote sessions and an interactive online classroom environment. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to join our live office hours session with experts Bridget Quinn-Carey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hartford Library and Kelli Shimabukuro, Chief, Programs and Outreach at Enoch Pratt Free Library & Maryland State Library Resource Center to ask your most pressing questions and get personal guidance!
